The Prince of Death's visit to the Haligtree was long overdue. Many of his years as The Golden Prince was spent writing to his siblings and sending gifts and supplies aplenty, but never actually visiting to see the progress of the Haligtree. He teased a visit for so long, yet could never pull through in fear of what his mother would do in response. Oh, it all seemed to revolve around Mother, didn't it?

But he was a new man now, a free man most importantly. He decided to bring a few things, some gifts and supplies that he could bring in a satchel. Evidently, he brought a guest. Armed with their proposal rings, Godwyn brought his beloved fiancée, Fia. She was soon to be a part of the family, so why not bring her here to get acquainted with them?

They took their time walking down the entrance to Ephael, soaking in the beautiful architecture that hugged the Haligtree. They spoke quietly to each other along the way, pointing out unique parts of the archways and statues that lined down the halls. It was breath of fresh air compared to the snowy hellscape of the consecrated snowfields. It felt warmer too, only the most gentle of breezes brushing past them as the sun peaked through the branches.

Godwyn was only at the entrance, and he was already astonished at the progress they made. How did they manage to make a paradise on such a small piece of land?

@deathblightprince

(He finally visiting the Haligtreeeeeee)

I young woman wearing the leather tabard of a Cleanrot squire approached down the causeway. Despite her small stature, her red hair and golden arm were all too familiar.

The girl's eyes widened when she spotted the two of them. "Lord Godwyn? You've arrived early." She offered her hand, a hint of nervous formality in her manner. "Please, come with me. My mother and uncle would have received you at the gate, but you were not expected before nightfall."

Psalm 137:9

[scotianostra]

9th October 1900 saw the birth in Edinburgh of Alastair Sim, the actor best known for his character and comedy roles.

He was the youngest of Alexander and Isabella Sim's four children. His father was a tailor who owned his own shop on Lothian Road, it is still a shop selling running gear nowadays.To use a suitable phrase for his father, I like the jib of the man, Alexander was one of a group of professional people in Edinburgh who noted the plight of wounded Veterans returning from the front who had little or no prospects of suitable accommodation or employment ahead of them. They founded the Scottish Veterans Garden City Association during the 1st World War and, under the chairmanship of Lord Salvesen, paid for the construction of houses for the use of returning servicemen.

Alexander Sim was offered, but refused, a knighthood.

For a time, the family lived above the shop, but as Alastair entered school, the business picked up enough that they were able to move to a house in Craigleith. Young Alistair was educated at Bruntsfield Primary, James Gillespie's High School and George Heriot's School. He worked for his father then another Edinburgh tailor but showed little aptitude and decided to enter Edinburgh University, studying analytical chemistry, but his further education was cut short when he was called up to the army. After the war he returned home and announced to his parents he was going to take up acting, this wnet down like a lead balloon and there was a falling out, Alistair left the family home and spent a year in the Scottish Highlands with a group of jobbing workers.

On returning to Edinburgh Sim took post in the burgh assessor's office. In his spare time, he entered poetry reading classes, winning the gold medal for verse speaking at the Edinburgh Music Festival.This led to him taking a job as a Fulton lecturer in elocution at New College, part of the University of Edinburgh.

Alastair Sim began working as a stage actor in 1930, taking on minor roles. His deep talent was soon discovered, and he was cast as Othello that same year. In 1932, he met and married Naomi Plaskill, his muse and wife for life. The couple had one child, a daughter named Merlith. It wasn't long before Sim moved to films in supporting roles. One of his more memorable characters was that of Detective Sergeant Bingham in the film series Inspector Hornleigh. His on-screen presence was so dominant that he has often been credited with "stealing the scene" from the film's star actors.

Throughout the 1940s, Sim was cast in several lead roles; he starred in the thriller Green for Danger, the comedy The Happiest Days of Your Life and Alfred Hitchcock's Stage Fright, among other major films. One of Sim's better-known portrayals was that of Captain Hook in the production of Peter Pan, a role he reprised six times during his career. In a national cinema poll in 1950, Sim was voted the most popular film actor in Britain.

I think quite a few of us will remember Alastair Sim in a slightly different role to those I have already pointed out, growing up before we had all the TV channels we have now and watching the old black & white films and the classic Belles of St Trinians where he played headmistress Millicent Fritton.

Looking through his other roles, I spotted he played the notorious Dr Knox, not once-but twice. For those who don't know, the doctor of note was a professor of Anatomy at Edinburgh University, he paid Messrs Burke & Hare for fresh cadavers to demonstrate the human anatomy at the University.

I mentioned Alistair's father refusing a knighthood, and it pleases me to tell you he too refused the offer of becoming Sir Alistair Sim in the early 70's.

He died of cancer in August 1976, insisting that his body be used for medical research - and that there should be no memorial service for him. His widow lived until 1999; she published a memoir, Dance and Skylark: Fifty Years with Alastair Sim in 1987. There is a plaque, commemorating Sim's birth, outside the Filmhouse Cinema in Lothian Road, Edinburgh, only a short distance from where he was born above his father's shop.

[wraith-of-christmas-future]

The Conversion and Evolution of Christmasland :

The birth year of Christmasland and The Wraith equate the same. 1938 was the year Charles Talent Manx the III and family had died. Once he brought the car home his fate had been sealed. Tied to her as if invisible chains locked onto his very soul. Inevitable lifeline that would eventually blur inward and template as his shadow. The only way in and out of Christmasland.

This is purely book influenced , among others ; ( Peter Pan, Pied Piper , Christmas Carol etc )tethered to various headcanons solely of my own creation.

This excludes the show's capability of Victoria McQueen being able to enter Christmasland. Without the Wraith guiding her, she will never enter it's gates through the rock face or her bridge. The farthest she would obtain would be out hundreds of miles away from the park onto St. Nick Parkway ; which harbors immense danger when concerning it's flora and fauna. Another safety precaution that is heavily mixed with my own headcanons and Dark Carousel influences.

But we won't get into the Wraith just yet, let us dabble into the mystery which envelopes Christmasland as a whole in both book and show. Even though one should note that she is the instrument of Christmasland. So she will be mentioned throughout.

I.

My version of Christmasland is a blending of them both. The show aspect that it had been Charlie who thought of it since the beginning, this I intend to keep. With the help of his two children, who only one had made it into the show. In the book there are two with the Manx bloodline. Two precious , beautiful, little girls. Millicent Manx that most of you know, and Lorrie Manx. I intend to suggest he has/had both, depending on verses. Lorrie may have perished to illness at an early age, or have died due to some other cause. Unless someone becomes interested in taking her up..she will remain as a deceased character in multiple verses. Lorrie will not be forgotten on this blog.

At that time, Christmasland was just that. Stories to tell to his daughters. Imaginary , untouchable. Like an itch one just couldn't quite scratch. Having forgotten how to tap into the unseen. Or questioning if he had at all back in his youth. The memory more tattered than reserved. ( As if Peter Pan had forgotten how to fly. )

If not haunted by phantom images of this burnt sky harrowing over abdominal snowmen ( no, not yetis.. actual snowmen )with eyes of furious infliction, protecting a boy already broken. That boy being Charles. Bits and pieces of a memory equivocal, but always present in their fragmented reels. Christmasland would gradually be built onto these same reels, if not subconsciously when fantasizing over his children being allowed to just be children. To have joy and laughter. Which wasn't capable in their current reality during the Great Depression. His very own children had to be put to work in a field on a farm he loathed more than anything. It was a life that could have made anyone empty on the inside. An emptiness that still ached.

Which is why Trauma House becomes erected out amid the outskirts of the park. A name given by loving fans, that we all kind of ran with. Due to the park being built onto reels already tainted, it slipped into creation. Mostly show influenced. It harbors his worst sets of trauma within those walls. That we'll gradually lay out in the future.

II. That does not mean he hadn't been tricked by Nicholas ( Nick ) LeMarc over a real life Christmasland. No, the stories this LeMarc spewed enticed him out of his mortgage because his words had been so enthralling due to his own stories that suddenly morphed now into possibility by another man's praise. A chance for his children to be children again. He leapt at the possibility to see those little faces light up again with joy. Strictly book influenced. Yet it had been when Charlie started to speculate he had been taken for a fool by this LeMarc, or how his wife mocked him over it harshly. Nagging him a worthless fool. It was here that he and Wraith both began to merge into each other's prowess. Triggered by the familiar turmoil which rippled the veil wide open. The scorn that ragged endless , the rift between him and the backseat pooled from whatever abyssal state of mind that cried for relief from her devastating persecution. Denying her ever the chance of laying her hands on him.

Fueled by his own pain, as well as the pain of his children -- you see, she never liked that car -- because such, she was the first to be denied. The first to die and never to rise. Blood spilt onto the back seat as two growing girls needed to eat, and all they had was the spoiled flesh of their ungrateful mother. She never believed in Christmasland you see, or him for that matter. So her life was spent.

Three tokens in exchange of making their dreams come true. Thoughts spilling out into reality as Wraith tore through the false gates to the lights just over the horizon. Where both little girls now fully turned , knew the truth was but a few miles more down the road. Encouraging their now turned, younger father to seek the second star to the right and straight on til' morning. This is highly book influenced.

The sky of this inscape changes on whim of moods spun. Purely book influenced. Dark and gloomy ? Red , like ice spawned fire. Or the vibrant serenity of the Northern lights being paraded around in the false sky harboring a moon mimicking his very own face plastered across the surface. Christmasland in show was portrayed as a rather dark but somewhat gloomy place, but not nearly as dark as it had been in the books. My draw on Christmasland is definitely more book oriented. The children are much more violent, with etches of adult like thoughts and corruption pivoting knowledge out onto how they may or may not skin their prey alive to devour later. The animals depicted among them are much more of a macabre threat, especially in park but also presentable out on the St. Nick Parkway. Ferocious monsters of wildest fantasy. Nothing is off limits.

The maze is more than just ice walls and dead end games. With booby traps that could strip your flesh from bones, walls that morphed into faceless mouths that carried a canvas of teeth. Snow covered ground that caved into an endless maw of serpent tongues with razor teeth at every contour. The rides and carney games even have possessive states of mind that mimic the Wraith, and just as violently cruel. Inanimate objects could suddenly animate, from toys to clothing. Devious forms of violence and torture. An endless amount of possibility that was untouched in show.

Outside of Christmasland these things could be killed within the right application, or evaporate into static. Inside Christmasland, they would just regenerate or respawn all together. Manx , and his very special biological children on the other hand, held much more sway over death. It would not be uncommon for them to come back .. one way or the other. Book influenced with added headcanons.

More to come |
